Together, our team specializes in supporting psychological, emotional, and behavioral growth - helping you break free from limiting patterns and outdated beliefs, reconnect with your most authentic self, and live a more confident, fulfilling life through compassionate, evidence-informed care.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi, my name is Monica Huston. I feel genuinely driven to help individuals, couples, and families work through the challenges that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of on your own.
My approach to therapy is thoughtful and grounded in understanding what’s beneath the surface. I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape the present. I aim to create a space that feels both steady and honest—where you can slow down, explore what’s really going on, and begin to experience yourself and your relationships differently over time.

New Beginnings Counseling Center (NBCC)
Pre-Licensed Professional
At New Beginnings Counseling Center's (NBCC) Donald J. Willfong Community Counseling Center, we are deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges with compassionate, accessible, and culturally attuned mental health care. For over 50 years, our nonprofit clinic has been a cornerstone of the Santa Barbara community, offering confidential counseling and therapeutic services that empower people to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our diverse team of masters- and doctoral-level counselors — supported by experienced clinical supervisors — provides evidence-informed therapy in a traineeship setting, helping clients explore life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, compulsive behaviors, substance use challenges, stress, anger management, isolation, and more. We offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling, available both in person and through telehealth to meet the varied needs of our community.
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of financial means. That’s why we provide one of the most affordable sliding-scale fee structures in the region — many clients pay less than $15 per session — and we never turn anyone away due to inability to pay. Counseling is available in both English and Spanish.
In addition to our clinical services, New Beginnings is dedicated to fostering community well-being through training the next generation of clinicians, integrating trauma-informed practices, and ensuring that our services are responsive, respectful, and strength-based. Our mission is to help individuals not just cope, but truly thrive, by supporting their emotional growth, resilience, and overall wellness.
We warmly welcome you to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery with us.
